Lyrics

Well, she swept through the church Like a sweet Sunday prayer While the choir sang Son of Heaven And the groom just walked on air I was killing time with Jesus When the wedding bells began And I saw the most beautiful woman Getting married to a handsome man She walked like a mystery And she passed like summer rain And she said "I do" like an angel But I never knew her name Oh, the congregation gathered But in darkness I remained In love with the bride of a handsome man But I never knew her name In the shadow of the holy Oh, I heard my tell-tale heart Whisper words that never reached her As her vows were made at last Oh, the preacher, with his blessing Pronounced them man and wife And I saw the most beautiful woman Make a promise to be kept for life She walked like a mystery And she passed like summer rain And she said "I do" like an angel But I never knew her name Oh, the congregation gathered But in darkness I remained In love with the bride of a handsome man But I never knew her name She walked like a mystery And she passed like summer rain And she said "I do" like an angel But I never knew her name Oh, the congregation gathered But in darkness I remained In love with the bride of a handsome man But I never knew her name Like a mystery Like summer rain She said "I do" like an angel But I never knew her name Oh, the congregation gathered But in darkness I remained In love with the bride of a handsome man Oh, I'm in love with the bride of a handsome man But I never knew her name (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Never knew her name (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I never knew her name (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I never knew her name (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
